A 33-year-old Croatian national has been arrested following an investigation into a traffic incident resulting in serious consequences. The arrest was made by the Police Department of Split-Dalmatia County on suspicion of endangering traffic, specifically under Article 225, paragraph 4, in connection with Article 1 of the Criminal Code. A criminal investigation is currently underway.
The individual, identified as the first officer of a catamaran, is facing potential charges related to the incident that occurred on Sunday, August 27th, at approximately 11:40 AM. The incident involved a catamaran and an eight-seater yacht navigating waters between Split and Brač. According to reports, the catamaran was traveling from Split to Hvar, carrying 118 passengers and seven crew members, while a yacht was en route from Trogir to Split.
The incident is linked to a tragedy that occurred earlier this month, resulting in multiple fatalities. Legal proceedings could result in a prison sentence of between three and 15 years for the accused, given the severity of traffic violations and their impact. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the event.
